A member of the orchestra at Brushy Creek Baptist Church in Taylors has been charged after authorities alleged that he kissed a 14-year-old girl inside the church after orchestra practice.

Perry Eugene Huff, 58, 210 Devonwood Court, Taylors, was charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, according to a warrant.

The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office was told that Huff kissed the girl on the lips on multiple occasions and slapped her on the buttocks, according to the warrant and an incident report.

“The investigator in the case along with the Solicitor's Office agreed that, based on the evidence and facts of the case, Huff was to be charged with ABHAN versus criminal sexual conduct with a minor, or lewd act on a minor, because the criteria to charge Huff with CSC or lewd act didn't exist,” said Sheriff’s Deputy Matthew Armstrong.

Huff was arrested and released on a $10,000 personal recognizance bond, Armstrong said.

Staffers at Brushy Creek Baptist Church couldn’t be reached for comment Monday.
